Dog Picked for Jury Duty, At Least That's What the Summons Says

A dog was picked for jury duty in Cumberland County New Jersey last week.

The error stemmed from an apparent computer glitch that most likely reversed and partially omitted the intended recipient's name resulting in the jury notice being addressed to the individual's 5-year-old German shepherd, named "IV Griner."

"I got the mail and I look at it, and I’m like IV Griner, this is my dog’s name," Barrett Griner IV, the dog's owner, told NBC Philadelphia. "I’m wondering like, What is this? Something from the county office about her vaccinations or something? Like, why is my dog getting mail?"

According to the owner, his dog was registered with the state under that name for her vaccination certificate.
